March Ranch #9 (API 42-081-30796) is a plugged well in Coke County, plugged August 2, 1996, last operated by Mayne & Mertz Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 14, 1979, permitted to 6,500 ft.

It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Mayne & Mertz Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 673 barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 1996. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
